I'm pretty sure those are Lorinser wheels. They are made for Mercedes.

They look ALOT like my Zauber Gettin.

I'd almost be tempted to say that they are. I am pretty sure Zauber has a Mercedes fitment and I don't think I've ever seen a Lorinser with a lip like that. Zauber lips are PHAT!!

Thanks for backing me up Peter!

Mine are polished/machined but it is one wheel I think looks good in chrome.

it's not the chrome thats hard to take care of, chrome is easier to clean than silver, it's the fact that you dont want to spend all that time making them shine cuz they show dirt faster then silver. =]

Wrong... The Gettin' is not a knock off of any other wheel..... Look closely at where the spoke meets the lip.........

The Gettin is pretty close to the Lorinser wheel...but there are some differences...definitely not exact and far enough part to tell which is which...and the Lorinsers don't come with such SICK *** lips!
